Chapter 25 Iwan’s Sensitive Nerve

An hour later, Jayna called Iwan, asking him to bring Emily upstairs. When Iwan brought Emily upstairs, Skyler and Luis had already gone back, and only Jayna and her sister Jacey were left upstairs.

“Iwan.” Jacey gave him a deep look, suppressing her doubts and not asking. After all, Jayna’s return to the family was the top priority. Her parents had told her about William’s conditions for Jayna’s return, which she thought might be too difficult for Jayna.

Jacey took Emily from Iwan as Jayna had a worried look on her face. According to what she knew, Iwan was unemployed after just having been expelled from the army and it might take him one month to land a job. He can't find a job in just one or two days. That meant the family’s living expenses were on her before he got a job, as well as the rental. Since Skyler didn’t want to see Iwan, Jayna wasn’t even allowed to move back home.

Aware of Jayna’s worried expression, Iwan asked her carefully, “Jayna, what’s wrong? Do you want to tell me about it?”

Jayna shook her head, breathed deeply, and smiled at Iwan and Emily, saying, “I'll go out to do some errands later, maybe I'll be back later. Iwan, could you take Emily to find a cheaper rental house nearby？ Let's rent one first. I mean we can’t afford to stay in the hotel too long.”

Then she turned to look at Jacey. “Jacey, if you’re available recently, could you help me with Emily since Iwan needs to land a job? I’d appreciate your help.”

Jacey immediately waved her hand and said, “As your sister, I‘m glad to be of any help, Jayna. I happen to be free these days, so you two can rest assured. You can focus on your job, and brother- in-law can start looking for a job. You guys just leave Emily to me."”

Jayna nodded and then kissed Emily. “Emily, I have to go out to deal with something, so you just stay here and play with your dad and Aunt Jacey, okay?”

Emily nodded sensibly and kissed Jayna on the face and said, "Well, Mom. Don’t worry. I won't run around, and I'll be with father and aunt..."

Hearing that, Jayna looked at Iwan in the end. She didn’t say anything and instead, she stood up with a slightly weary look and walked out of the room.

Having sensed that Jayna was hiding something from him, Iwan didn’t frown until she went far. Then he glanced at Jacey in a fog, asking, “Jacey, what’s wrong with your sister?”

Jacey had a meaningful look on her face, sighed deeply, and then shook her head. “Given that you guys have been back, my dad wants to get Jayna back to the family business since it’ll be convenient for her. For her return, my grandpa has three conditions and Jayna needs to meet at least one of them. But, alas, each of the conditions is very difficult for her.”

Iwan remained calm and asked drily, “Can you be more specific about the conditions?”

Jacey continued, “The first one is to collect a debt of 280 thousand dollars which the Piper family in the south of the city has defaulted on. The second is to expand three distribution channels for the Brown Group. The third is to handle one of the difficult projects of the group and win the contract. None of them is an easy job. I think Grandpa is just making the situation difficult for Jayna by giving her such impossible tasks.”

At this time, Emily in Jacey's arms hurriedly cut in to echo what Jacey had said. “Dad, dad, mom is in difficulty and needs your help. I don’t want mom to work so hard.”

After Emily said so, Jacey’s eyes flashed with surprise as she looked at Iwan carefully. But Iwan just nodded, smiling and saying, “Emily, I’m sorry to be of no help since I just came back and have no

acquaintance here. But you need to believe that your mom can make it herself, right?”

Tilting her head, Emily thought for a while and nodded cutely in the end. “Yes. I believe that mom is quite able to make it. At that time, grandpa and great-grandpa won’t dislike me and mom.”

Iwan nodded. After he and Jacey checked out of the hotel, he began to look for a suitable rental house with Emily. As a local who grew up in Pasoland City, Jacey knew well about it and succeeded in finding a house with two bedrooms and a living room for Iwan and Jayna with her classmate's help by 3 p.m.. Since it wasn’t a downtown apartment, the rental didn’t cost much. With the acquaintance’s help, it only cost two hundred and fourteen dollars a month. So Iwan paid for it without bargaining.

Then Jacey took Iwan and Emily to buy a lot of daily necessities. One room was for Jacey and the other room was for Iwan, Jayna, and Emily.

At 6 p.m., when Iwan got the dinner ready, Jayna hadn’t been back. After giving Jayna a call, Iwan had dinner first with Jacey and Emily. As for Jayna, she wasn’t back until eight with a faint handprint on her right cheek which was slightly swollen. Her eyes were also somewhat red and swollen, probably from crying. Seeing her like this, Iwan narrowed his eyes and couldn’t help but have a murderous look. But no matter how he asked, Jayna just claimed that she was all right and needed a rest before taking Emily back to the bedroom to sleep.

After clearing up the kitchen, Iwan was about to call Warrior No.1 to ask him to find it out when Jacey walked out of Jayna’s room.

“Jacey, what’s wrong with your sister? Has she told you about it?” Iwan asked her.

Jacey replied with gritted teeth, “She went to the Piper Group in the south of the city in the afternoon for the debts but didn’t even get to see the Pipers but a manager working for the

company. Since Jayna’s face was swollen, I kept probing into who did this. In the end, she told me it was a manager called Jeffrey Zeman who slapped her and drove her out.”

When she finished speaking, she glanced at Iwan and sighed, “Iwan, don’t give it a second thought. The Piper family has defaulted on the debts for seven or eight years and will never pay off the debts. Alas, I’ll tell Jayna to give it up.” When she finished speaking, she went back into the room to resume persuading Jayna.

When the door was closed, with a murderous look on his face, Iwan slowly turned to look at the room where Jayna and Emily were in. He had planned to get Warrior No.1 to deal with the three tasks for Jayna as soon as possible. But he didn’t expect Jayna to work on it in such haste.

‘The Pipers! I won’t let go of you!’ Iwan said to himself. He wanted to go to the south of the city immediately, but the timing wasn’t good since Jayna and the others hadn’t fallen asleep. Once they found out, he didn’t even know how to explain it. So he sent Warrior No.1 a message.

As time went by, it was midnight when Jayna and Emily had been soundly asleep, Iwan opened his eyes in the next bed.

Then he crept out of bed carefully, tiptoed over to open the door, went downstairs, and walked towards the darkness far away. The moment he went downstairs, he couldn’t even disguise his overwhelming rage and swore to kill whoever dared to bully his wife. Contentt bel0ngs to N0ve/lDrâ/ma.O(r)g!

But what Iwan didn’t know was that the curtains in Jacey’s bedroom opened a crack to reveal Jacey’s eyes as he went downstairs and walked towards the distance.
